Can the AI automatically process a refund for a specific transaction ID?

Yes! Use the `create_transaction` tool with the 'refundTransaction' type. You'll need to provide the original transaction ID and the amount to be credited back to the customer.

How do I check for transactions that have not yet been settled?

Simply ask the agent to run the `get_unsettled_transaction_list` tool. It will return all transactions currently sitting in your unsettled queue for review.

Is it possible to manage customer payment profiles securely through the AI?

Yes. The `get_customer_profile` tool allows the agent to retrieve stored profiles (without exposing full sensitive card data), enabling you to manage recurring billing and saved information securely.

Authorize.net + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Authorize.net MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
